Forget YM, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Allure and Seventeen. Forget Sassy and its spiral downwards from content to cosmetics. A multitude of more hip and progressive magazines for young women can be found at places other than next to the candy and gum at the checkout aisle, where these thinly disguised sales pitches for girlie consumerism reside. Believe it or not, there is another realm of reading for female teens and twentysomthings who want writing that reflects their experiences and not national clothing chains: Bitch, Bust, Hip Mama, Teen Voices, New Moon, Blue Jean, Hues, YO!, Youth Outlook 360 Degrees, Reluctant Hero, and Brillo.
